# Synology Media Indexer
#
# The Synology's synoindexd service will only index files if those have been copied to the media
# directory via FTP, SMB, AFP. If you move or copy media files via Telnet/SSH, the indexer is not
# aware of those, and you would have to manually reindex (which is time-consuming).
#
# This script will scan the video directory for modified files over the last two days and will then
# query the synoindex-service if the file was already indexed. If the file does not exist in the index
# database, the script will manually add it for immediate indexing.
#
# The logging component is handy, if you want to monitor when files are indexed and possibly tune your
# cronjob settings. I run the script in a cronjob every 10 minutes, which will then result in little
# overhead.
#
# I have included my most common media types in the script, but if I missed something, you are welcome
# to extend the script (and let me know what types I have missed).
#
# Usage: perl update-syno.sh /volume1/video
#
# Or add to crontab:
# */10 * * * * root perl /volume1/Extensions/scripts/update-syno.sh /volume1/video
